A second brain that builds itself from your work and keeps itself current.

About Locul

Locul is a desktop tool that automatically builds and maintains a structured memory from a user's existing notes, documents, and dictations, making this knowledge available to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. It reads sources such as markdown files, PDFs, Notion docs, Obsidian vaults, dictations, and LinkedIn posts, updating its memory as the user's work evolves. Locul operates primarily on the user's machine, with an optional cloud AI mode that requires user opt-in. The tool offers a free tier with core features and paid plans that unlock additional integrations and higher memory limits. Designed for those who already use AI in their workflow, Locul minimizes manual organization and upkeep.
